In the article Kiniski proclaims "I'd still be wrestling if it weren't for my knees" and I don't doubt it for a minute, even at a then 72 years old. Kiniski passed on in April of this year 2010, one of the last veterans of the Ontario scene in the 50's and beyond.

Paul Rimstead column from the Toronto Sun Dec 17 1978. The celebrated columnist got into the game in 1973 as a manger for the brief career of one Pat McMahon aka Shilelagh O'Sullivan, and reminisces in this column from the day of the big MLG card when Bravo beat Kiniski for the new Canadian Title.

O'Sullivan appears in a local ad from 1980 but unsure if he actually wrestled, if you have additional info about Pat/Shillelagh please contact me or leave a note below.
